Part 2: Complete the REPACCMO Candidate Questionnaire & Pledge

Required Step for Full OCRC Vetting Approval – Do This Immediately After Part 1!

Complete This Step Immediately After Submitting Part 1

To keep your vetting on track and avoid delays, proceed directly to REPACCMO’s standardized online Candidate Questionnaire right away. This includes the detailed Candidate Statement (pledge) affirming alignment with the Missouri Republican Party Platform (2016 version + 2024 amendments).

Key Action: Access the universal link provided by REPACCMO:

Reminder: Completing and passing Part 2 earns REPACCMO’s badge automatically, but full OCRC vetting approval (required for receipts/endorsement) depends on passing BOTH parts. Submit Part 1 first to start the process!

Important:

  • TAKE THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE — OCRC does not control REPACCMO’s processing time or notification speed.
  • Once you complete and pass (70%+ alignment, no felonies, acceptable voting record if applicable), REPACCMO will notify OCRC of your status (via email CC to us).
  • We’ll then finalize your full vetting review (combining Part 1 public record check + REPACCMO results) and issue approval/payment instructions (for partisan offices) or qualified status receipt (for committee positions).

Important Notes About Part 2:

  • This is a single, public universal link from REPACCMO — anyone can access and complete it (no password needed).
  • You must complete the questionnaire and Candidate Statement yourself — do not delegate or share details.
  • Upon successful completion (70%+ alignment, no felonies, acceptable voting record if applicable), REPACCMO automatically issues their “REPACCMO VETTED” badge and may list you publicly. However, this badge and REPACCMO’s pass determination do NOT constitute OCRC approval. OCRC makes the final pass/fail decision based on BOTH Part 1 (our notification & platform alignment review) and Part 2 results.
  • REPACCMO will copy OCRC on your pass/fail notification upon completion.
  • Full questionnaire answers are not shared with OCRC until after July 1, 2026 (when vetting closes and they become public). This means OCRC’s review during the filing period relies primarily on the pass/fail notification and our Part 1 public record check.
  • For your convenience, the link is also included in our Letter to Potential Candidates PDF
